Is Anybody Else Afraid To Trust Again?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Jonesboro, GA

I gave my all to the man that gave me HIV. Now I'm afraid to even love or trust again so afraid that I'm gonna get sicker if I deal with the wrong woman or man. I don't know what to do I hope I'm not the only one feeling like this what should or could I do?

I guess I am the opposite it wasn't his fault the girl he was with before me gave it to him and when I told him he committed suicide and killed him self when I found out i had it i told everyone i am not scared of telling people if they don't like it or get scared of me oh well it just made me more wiser i guess cause I was just a young adult at 25 years old i am a lot more wiser now and I still tell people what I have

I guess I'm always afraid to trust people....but try to realize that most people try to do good. They're's always one rotten apple but you can't forget about all the good ones can you?

Trusting again can be challenging, especially after experiencing difficult situations. According to the knowledge base, self-trust is crucial in managing HIV. One member shared, "When I was first diagnosed, I kept my mouth shut even if my doctor said something incorrect or wrong for my body. I'm learning to trust those feelings - my intuition - and speak up." It's important to listen to your intuition and advocate for yourself. If you have a moment when you doubted yourself and later realized your instinct was right, sharing it might help others.

To be honest, It will be a long time, But I'm working on it. I still deep down want to be married and have a family. So I know it's something that I got to get over. Take as much time as you need to get your mind right.
